One game worth keeping an eye on is Axiom Verge 2. It was teased last month during the Nintendo Indie World Showcase and is scheduled to arrive on the Switch eShop at some point this year.

The game's creator, Tom Happ, previously mentioned how the sequel would mix Metroid and The Legend of Zelda, and now in the same interview (thanks for the tip, GoNintendo), he has revealed how there's likely to be even more Axiom Verge games released, provided the sequel replicates the success of the original.

This was his exact response:

That’s the plan. Though I might be a bit burned out on AV after finishing 2 and interject a different kind of game in-between.

Tom also mentions how he always reads player feedback and said despite the ongoing requests, he would never turn the series into a multiplayer title, but would make an effort to address any other requests:

I do read player feedback even if I don’t often respond to it. I’ll probably never turn Axiom Verge into a multiplayer game no matter how much people ask for it, but I try to address most other things if I can.

When he’s not paying off a loan to Tom Nook, Liam likes to report on the latest Nintendo news and admire his library of video games. His favourite Nintendo character used to be a guitar-playing dog, but nowadays he prefers to hang out with Judd the cat.

I’d love it if Nintendo loaned him the Metroid license. There are great indie creators who have taken up the mantle of Nintendo’s 2nd and 3rd tier games like Metroid, Mother and Advance Wars. I’d love to see Nintendo get these small teams to create games specifically for Nintendo consoles, even if it was just for a single game.

@Whalehome Me and my brother resurrected Fast RMX for the first time after launch week of the Switch. Man that is such a good game. Imagine what Shin'en could achieve with Nintendo's input and budget if they were to be given F-Zero

On one hand, loved the original and will always be down for more games in the series. On the other, I hope he doesn’t get stuck designing AV games indefinitely. Some indie devs seem to end up that way, as fans keep wanting them to keep continuing their one series... he has a lot of talent and I hope he doesn’t spend all his time in one place, ya know?

Hmm. Well I do hope that Axiom Verge 2 turns out well first of all, frankly the supposed Zelda inspiration and ugly graphics style/generally way less inpired look compared to the original has me a bit worried.
